PROTECTION

Management of stored product pests is essential to the safety of your brand and products.

The management of pests in commodity storage and

food plants requires a high degree of professionalism,

experience and knowledge.

McCloud Services has been protecting the nation’s

food supply from stored products pests since 1904.

We offer superior coverage for Indianmeal moths,

cigarette beetles, drugstore beetles, rice weevils and

more. Our stored product protection services utilize

pest management techniques that are effective,

economical, and emphasize food safety and

contamination prevention, leveraged through early

detection.

The goal of our monitoring-intensive stored product pest program is to protect your company and product while emphasizing non-chemical pest management solutions that reduce dependence on traditional treatments and fumigation. Let us help you by using site specific techniques and programs found to be effective.

EXCLUSIONExclusion methods are used to prevent pest entry into a structure. Exclusion strategies may include: sealing pest entry points, screening, pest-proofing doors and inspec-tion of incoming goods.

SANITATION ADJUSTMENT Good housekeeping practices are essential for eliminating food sources for stored product pests. Your McCloud Service Specialist will document areas where sanitation improvements are required.

ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATIONEnvironmental adjustments such as structural changes, lighting selection, and temperature modification can be uti-lized in an integrated stored product pest management pro-gram.

VEGETATION MANAGEMENT Weed management and proper selection of landscaping materials around the facility are important elements of pest prevention. Weeds can provide harborage and food for rodents and insects. Certain types of landscaping materials and vegetation are more conducive to pest development than others. Your McCloud Service Specialist can provide recommendations regarding the elimination of landscaping conditions that are conducive to pests.

TRAPPING AND MONITORINGTraps are used to capture, properly identify, and monitor pests. Some traps, such as insect light traps and rodent multicatch traps, serve as both monitoring and stored product pest removal devices. Some traps, such as stored product pest pheromone traps, are used for monitoring only.

MATING DISRUPTION The use of pheromones to reduce successful insect mating.

ULV TREATMENTUltra Low Volume (ULV) treatments utilize the minimum volume of insecticide required to eliminate target pests with the maximum economy. ULV is used when pest populations have reached target threshold.

FUMIGATION Fumigation is the use of volatile gas to destroy insects in all stages of their life cycle.
